Meet the Man on a Mission to Help Australians with the Challenges of Mental Health


SafeWatch: Changing Mental Health Care with Community Collaboration

"I wish I knew" or "I didn’t think it was that bad" are words often echoed in the quiet murmurs at funerals across Australia, painting a stark picture of isolation and unrecognised mental distress. These expressions of regret and confusion drove Shane Muller, an entrepreneur for impact, to create SafeWatch, a pioneering platform designed to harness the power of community to transform mental wellness.

SafeWatch proudly introduces the ‘Village Approach to Wellbeing™’, a transformative approach that transcends traditional individual treatment, fostering a communal journey towards improved mental health. Drawing inspiration from Helen Keller’s wisdom, "Alone, we can do so little; together we can do so much," this innovative platform aims to bring a collective path to healing and resilience.

In Australia, over 65,000 make attempts on their lives each year. It is a leading cause of death for 15–44-year-olds. This alarming statistic highlights the critical need for accessible and effective mental health solutions. SafeWatch addresses this need by merging cutting-edge technology with therapeutic expertise, offering more than support—it offers a lifeline that comes with ‘community’.

Key Features of SafeWatch:

  • Village Care Network: Cultivates a robust support network to combat isolation and foster genuine human connections.

  • Personalised Wellness Journey: Empowers users with tools to monitor their mental health, track activities, and visualise progress.

  • Enhanced Privacy: Utilises blockchain technology to ensure the highest level of data security and user privacy.

  • Professional and Personal Integration: Enables mental health practitioners to extend their care beyond traditional settings and supports workplace mental wellness.

  • Intentionally Non-Addictive Design: Encourages healthy, meaningful interactions without fostering screen dependency.

Shane Muller, the founder and CEO, remarked, "SafeWatch is an example of the power of community in an era where isolation has become alarmingly common. It’s not just a tool; it's a movement toward a future where the collective strength of a village nurtures mental health."

He adds, "Our connections with others provide our greatest strength in times of adversity. SafeWatch is designed to unite families, friends, adults as well as youth, mental health professionals, and employers in a concerted effort to support one another, marking a significant paradigm shift from traditional mental health care, which often occurs in isolation."

New Developments:

  • Upcoming Markets: SafeWatch for the Workplace has been developed with progressive modules to be released this year.

  • Expansion Plans: In response to its growing success, SafeWatch is set to expand its services to Hong Kong and across Asia, broadening its reach and impact.

SafeWatch prioritises privacy, ensuring that users have exclusive control over their personal information, thereby always maintaining security and confidentiality. The platform is available on various app stores and is used in diverse settings, including clinical environments, to holistically support people throughout their mental well-being journey.
